'['o o/I wlw-m. it may concor/a.:

Be it known that I, Tour T. Tuczrssiti, a citizen of the United States. residing at Milwaukee` in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerators; and I do hereby declare the following to be a f ull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will eiuible others skilled in the art to which it appertiiiiis to make and use thc sinne.

'lhis invention reliites to refrigerators and one of the priiicipiil objects of the sinne is to provide a refrigerator which will not reunire the use of ice and which can be innintaine l at low cost.

.\nother oiriret of the invention is to provide a series of shelves for supporting the provisions said shelves living formed of tubesl or pipes through which cold water is ada ited to pass out to the flush tank` 'Fliese and other objects and advantages may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawin s in which- "igure 1 is a front elevation of a household refrigerator mado in accordance with mv invention, Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional.

view of the sinne, Fig. tl is a horizontal scctioiiiil view taken on the line -il of Fig. 9., Fig. l is a detail sectional view showing thc construction of one of tho shelves and the pliites at op osite sides of th'e pipes forming said she ves, and Fig. is an enlarged detail view showing the manner of supportin;r one of the shelves at one side thereof.

Referring to the drawin s the numeral l designates a household re rigerator casing with suitable doors 2, and a shelf 3 at one side thereof.

'lhe construction of the refrigerator may be varied within great limits and as shown in Fig. l is provided with a lining 4. drip tube o extends through the bottom of the refrigerator and is designed to catch the water of` condensation from the pipe and pass it oil as waste.

Loading from the wiiter supply spigot of a sink G is a pi )e 7. said pipo extendin through one si e of the refrigerator unil having connected thereto a pipe 8 forming the upper member of a zigzag series of pipes i) extending from near the top to the bottom of the refrigerator. Connected to the lower member 0 of the pipes is a vertical pipe 10 which extends out through the bottom of the refrigerator and is provided with a horizontal connecting pipe l1 which leads to the water main. The water is forced up through the pi )e system and ont to be used at the sink 6 tiirouglh the spigot 6 and the surplus is passed tirough the ipe 12 to the flush tank 13, for a toilet iowl, (not shown) the wiitcr passing through the pipes 14 and lo to said tank.

Connected to the pipe T is a iitting 1G` to which is connected the horizontal series of pipes 1T forming the shelves. These pipes communicate with the vertical connections 18 and the shelves are cach provided with top and bottoni plates i9 placed upon o )posite sides of the shelves and connected together by means` of bolts 20. 'llie top plates provide the shelves with smooth unbroken article supportiner surfaces. 'l`he bottom plate of cach shelf prevents water of condensation accumulating upon the series of iipes from drip iing on articles located beiow the shelf` tiie water of condensation being conveyed by the plate to the sides of the revisionchamber. For giving stability to die shelves and supporting them cross tubes or rods 21 supported at their ends by caps 22 secured to the walls of the refrigerator, are irovided. These shelves couiiiiuiiieate with the water supply )ipe 11 through suitable connections and wllicn the wiiter is forced through the pipe to the sink and flush tank the refrigerator will be at a suitable tcmpcriitiire for keeping provisions and preventing deterioration.

Mv refrigerator is simple in construction, can e maintained at low cost and will save the usual great expense for ice.

What I claim is 1. A refrigerator provided with a provi; sion chamber, a shelf located within the provision chamber and consisting of a horizontal Series of pipes, a feed pipe communiciitiiig with the series ot pipes` a discharge pipe communicating with the series ol` pipes. a top plate secured to the u )per side of the series of pipes to provide die shelf with a smooth unbroken article supporting surface. and a bottoni plate secured to the underside. of the series of pipes to prevent water of condensation accumulating on the pipes from dripping on iiiticlcs lociited below the shell"` said bottoni ilate being iidiipted to convoi' the water to t ie sides of the provision c iiiiiiber.

2. A water cooled refrigerator comprising a provision chamber2 caps secured to the sido walls of the provision chamber, cross rods havin their ends'secur'ed in the caps, a bottom pate resting upon the cross rods` a horizontal series of ipes resting upon the bottom plate, a feet pipe communicating with the series of pipes, a discharge pipo taunnumicatng with the series of 1ipes,.a top plate resting upon the upper sit e of tho series of pipes, am scouring moans passing through the series of pipes and enga ing the top and bottom plates, said to p ate providing a smooth unbroken artic e supdq'iu o! this potent msy'bo y accumulating 'on the pipes obtained for tvo ntl non, by Manning the and tho bottom plate being of condensation from dripping.; on articles located below the plate, und to convoy the water to the Sides ol the provision chamber.

In tostimony whereof I allix my `wgnature in presence o two witnesses.
